Elegant Extracts: Spenser.

In this edition of the extracts (first published in 1789), Vicesimus Knox includes 100 excerpts from Spenser, the first 87 arranged alphabetically for easy reference ("Adonis's Garden" through "Wrath"); they are followed by some lengthier extracts from the Faerie Queene.

This frequently-reprinted collection, replete with imitations of Spenser and Milton, was long used as a textbook.
